Just bought a Chrome Brake Pedal Pad Cover and the Factory Install sheet says...Remove the Factory Brake Pad first (see below)...
I have tried pulling it off to the point that I have almost bent the brake pedal arm. Is it Glued on? Thought about just cutting it off,
but figured there must be a simple way to remove it. There is No Bolt holding it on that can be seen although the new one does
have a bolt that holds it to the arm, so I'm guessing there is a hole in the pedal arm?
Any suggestions would be appreciated !!
This is being installed on a 2010 Ultra Limited ...this is the part I'm referring to.......

Maybe the dealer replaced the OEM pad with an accessory pad before you bought it?!?!

A Big THANK YOU to all that replied...The Majority suggested cutting it off...and I did exactly that...the metal plate under it had two recessed slots that the rubber pad was attached to...IF I got it off...probably useless at that point anyway and it wouldn't have ever gone back on anyway. There was a hole in the metal brake arm that supports the new pad cover and therefore it now screws on permanently.
